After ayu's first verse there's nothing that can be put there except to leave Timmy's part or to abruptly put the chorus after it. I hope you can do a better job than me because I fail so hard at editing that track.

I also tried editing out the vocals of Timmy's part but it takes away the bass too much. I think that NaNaNa 'needs Timmy'. lol
I think Ayu's part would flow rather nicely there - it sounded like with proper precise editing in Sonic Foundry Acid Pro I could blend them nicely. But who knows I guess we will see but it might be my wishful thinking.

It's not about not listening to a song you don't like, it's about really liking a song but having to shake your head every time Timmy's opera voice comes out of nowhere, lol.

With NaNaNa, it's not only the fact that the rhyme's suck (I mean, "boys, noise, boys, choice...? I prefer a rhyming scheme of A, B, A, B or A, A, B, B - not A, A, A, A.) but the fact that he just mentions boys. I was expecting "all the gorgeous boys, and all the pretty girls" or something along those lines. I just feel like the whole song is some awkward attempt at a gay porn star trying to make a name in club music for himself. And the low-budget attempt at a PV doesn't help either. I could see Chris Crocker singing that ****.
